Phosphorus (P) pollution remains a major cause of surface water quality failures under the Water Framework Directive. Abating P pollution in agricultural catchments requires informed decisions about the likely effectiveness of land management mitigation measures and their spatial targeting.

Planet Earth is seemingly awash with water. However, only 0.3% of freshwater is available as surface water. Currently, about 40% of the world’s population live in water stressed areas, which are projected to become 50-65% of the earth surface by 2025.

Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship to develop bioelectrochemical systems (BES) for remediation and resource recovery, in the Food, Water, Waste Research Group (FWW), Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham (UoN).

Freshwater ecosystems provide crucial ecosystem services and support exceptional biodiversity. However, rivers are highly influenced by environmental change and are among the most threatened of all ecosystems.
